"How did you find me?", Ellie managed to ask Edward, who was facing her. "I got scared thinking that you were kidnapped and I had no other option than to report you missing to the police. They saw the car dropped you here after watching the CCTV. Hence, the reason we found you here", Edward calmly explained. "I am so sorry for troubling you. I promise such won't repeat itself again", Ellie said in a low voice, which was evident that she was tired. "Can we head home now?", Edward asked, after noticing that Ellie was tired. Ellie responded by nodding her head. Edward drove Ellie home and all through their journey, none of them said anything. On getting home, Ellie sat on the couch in the sitting room, tirelessly. Edward moved up to her and also sat beside her. "Will you take a shower and head to bed?", Edward asked. "I will do just that", Ellie managed to say. "Okay. Let me run your bath for you", Edward said, getting up, ready to head to the bathroom. "Edward", Ellie called, up
"Today, I am here to join you two together as husband and wife. Can we proceed to sharing the vows and exchanging the rings?", the priest, who was a man in his early 50 asked. "Yes, you can", Edward responded, with joy evident in his voice and on his face, after getting a confirmation from Ellie that the ceremony could take-off. "So, can the groom go ahead and say his vows?", the priest asked. "Ellie, I knew you were the one who would bring my life to completion the moment I laid eyes on you. I'm not just standing here taking your hand in marriage; I'm also promising you my undying love. I promise to be your best friend, your steadfast ally, and your constant companion. I pledge to support you at your highs and lows, to rejoice in every victory, no matter how tiny, and to share in your pleasures and sorrows", Edward said, pausing. "I promise to love you unconditionally, to always treat you with dignity and respect, and to treasure each day that we have together. I promise to be a
"What did I do to him three days ago?", Ellie nervously asked, trying to know the depth of the information Sophia had about her. "I know you killed him", Sophia said, whispering into Ellie's ears which made Ellie shivered and mute. Sophia was able to see through her and found out that she was scared. She took it as an opportunity to taunt and threaten her. "How do you think your dear husband would react if he finds out what happened three days ago and the fact that you actually slept with your ex-husband before killing him? Should I call him your ex-husband or your husband because you are still legally married to him? ", Sophia said, with a devilish smile on her face. "I didn't sleep with him, he raped me", Ellie said, trying to defend herself and clear her name. "He raped you? Did he force you to enter the hotel room? Do you think Edward would believe you when there are pictures of you guys kissing and a video of the nice time you had together?", Sophia said, mockingly. "Picture
Edward's eyes were fixed on the projector and the picture he was seeing right in front of him. He found it hard to believe and kept denying the fact that it was Ellie in the picture."I trust her. She isn't the one. She can never betray me," he kept saying in his head, trying to wave off any form of doubt. The audience was already gossiping and saying all sorts of things. Sophia, satisfied with the expression on Ellie's face and her dismay, smiled with satisfaction."I told you I would pay you back in your own coin. This is just the beginning. Chill and enjoy the ride as the real show is about to begin," Sophia said, laughing hysterically."Why are you doing this to me?" Ellie asked, with tears in her eyes."Why am I doing this? You dare to ask me that? You ruined my marriage! You stole Edward away from me! You made life a fucking hell for me and turned me into an object of ridicule, and here you are asking me why I am doing this? This is just the beginning of your torment, darling. L
Throughout their ride home, neither Ellie nor Edward said anything. As he drove, Ellie kept on stealing glances at Edward and she wondered what he was thinking inside of his head. She had expected him to react in a wrong way but he never did. He just fixed his eyes on the road, driving home at a high speed. Edward on the other hand too was hurt and angry but he decided not to vent his anger on Ellie. He thought she had been criticized enough and didn't want to add to her pain. He was hurt and heartbroken no doubt, but he decided not to say anything as he knew anything he says would hurt Ellie. "How could she have done this to me? Why did she lie to me? I asked her so many times if she was hiding somethings from me but she said "No". Why did she hurt me like this?", Edward kept on thinking. The more he drove, the more he got angry, clenching his fists on the driving wheel and driving at a fast speed. The silent treatment Edward was giving Ellie was killing her inside and when she noti
As Edward drove with no destination in mind, he kept on thinking about what had happened that night. His heart was heavy and the pains he was feeling that night was quite familiar as it was the same pain he had felt the day his mother died and the night he found out Sophia was cheating on him. But the pain he was feeling that night was different; it hurts different. The pain was more than the ones he had felt before and he felt like his heart was being ripped out of his chest. He tried taking the scene off his head but he just couldn't. He tried focusing on the road ahead but he just couldn't. He also tried to brace himself up not to cry but he didn't know when tears started to roll down his eyes, making his vision blurred. "Why did she do this to me? Despite the love I have for. How could she deceive me and hid such a thing from me when I was so transparent and opened with her? Why do I get hurt every time I try to fall in love? Why can't I ever be happy? Just why?", Edward yelle
"What was that about? What was Edward talking about? Who exactly are you?", Daniel asked, facing Allison. He had confronted her upon them getting home from the event. He had kept on thinking about Edward's allegations against Allison on their way home. "Could she truly be Molie? Did she actually staged Catherine's death?", he kept on thinking while stealing glances at her. "I …. I ….. can explain", Allison said, stammering as she realized she was about to be caught. "Were you scared I wouldn't accept you if I found out you were the one? Were you scared I would leave you and our son just as I had done before?", gullible Daniel cut in, saving Allison from getting exposed. Realizing it was a perfect umbrella for her to hid under, Allison pretended as if she was actually scared of what Daniel had said. "Yes, I was. I had thought you would abandon us again just like you did. I didn't want to cause Edward more pain as he was badly hurt due to the death of his mother. Hence, the reason
"Get the car ready", Daniel said, rushing to where his car was with Molie following suite. Daniel was restless throughout his journey to the hospital. Although, he never showed it, he loved Edward so much. The fear of Edward rejecting his love for him had stopped him from showing that he cared about him as Edward kept on blaming him for his mother's death. He felt guilty of Edward's accusation and so, he silently looked out for him with Edward not realizing it. When he found out Edward had finally found someone he was in love with, he had silently given them his blessing even before he met Ellie. Him asking Ellie to secure a collaboration before she could have Edward all to herself was all a disguise and a pretense, so as not to make Edward notice his affections for him. Allison noticed how tensed and worried Daniel was throughout their journey and she realized that something was off about him; something she was unable to place her fingers on. On getting to the hospital, Daniel quic
